Simple guide on Olive Oil, a bit of history, varieties, how to taste it and some personal stories of people who work in this beautiful field.

I learned quite a bit about the modern world of olive oil, and just adored the format of this book. It's peppered with photographs, letters, but very easy to read and very informative.

This book was an informative, nonfiction novel about the olive oil industry from the standpoint of an olive oil sommelier. It provides a nice overview of olive oil’s longstanding and sometimes scandalous history, types of olives, oil production, how to taste oil, recipes, and more!
